Description
The Gina M. Finzi Memorial Student Summer Fellowship Program, offered by the Lupus Foundation of America, fosters student interest in research relevant to lupus. It supports work across basic, clinical, translational, epidemiological, and behavioral research, giving students an opportunity to pursue lupus-related research under faculty sponsorship and supervision.
The supervising principal investigator must engage in clinical research or direct a laboratory dedicated at least in part to investigating lupus. The fellowship is part of the foundation’s broader research funding portfolio, which supports investigators at every career stage and seeks to drive novel approaches across basic science, translational, and clinical lupus research.
